Nice like, is it one of thise dev carts with the rom chips sticking out the top?

It is, i’ve never checked to see if my particular version was ever dumped. I remember years back when I got and saw other protos sold on ebay so I kind of figured mine was noting special. If I remember right it was a finalized copy.

Some obscure items I own.

-Video Game Brain (cartridge loader and storage) for Atari 2600 CIB
-Mario’s Time Machine for PC
-Wordtris (Gameboy) prototype
-Donkey Kong Country 2 bandaid’s (country ???)
-Virtual Boy light up display sign

Kind of a lighthearted topic maybe, but I’m playing through WLVB for the first time ever, and I am amazed at how good it is and how well it holds up. All of the powerups, the level designs, the fluidity of the controls, of course the 3D — it hangs so so well together, and it’s got me desperately wanting to play another one of these after I finish this one. Do any if his few platforming adventures equal this one (or better) in your opinion?

Actually I think VB Wario Land is the best game in the series. With Wario Land 2 the Wario series changed from “beat the stage while finding secrets and coins” to “run around a bigger stage looking for secrets and coins and you can’t die, just get inconvenienced” which I didn’t think was as good as before. The next best game in the series is Super Mario Land 3 Wario Land on Gameboy, which is still a regular platformer.
Of the later more exploration-based games, Wario Land 4 on GBA and Wario Land Shake Dimension on Wii are both pretty good though, but not close to Virtual Boy Wario Land in my opinion.

Agreed Protoman.

I stuck all of mine in the system box since its missing the inner cardboard. If not they’d be in a generic box of some sort.

Sweet.

Also thank you for the various compliments.

I couldn’t come up with a figure, but I’m pretty sure that no more than 1 or 2 show up online for sale or auction per year, so it shows up about as rarely or even more rarely than Virtual Bowling.

It’d be hard to put a price on them, too, given their rarity as well as the demand for them among collectors.

I won’t be selling mine anytime soon, just curious on information about it.

This is an awesome find, hopefully a successful dump is in the future.

It sounds like a good deal of fun.

My room is a mess, due to a poor set up and too much stuff. Also that’s my cat Yoshi who decided to not get out of the picture.

Nice work on the stand, much better than the original.

I just picked one up the other day. It works but I need to find a new light bulb for it.

To boldly go where no man has gone before.

That’s cool.

Ridiculously cool find vuefinder83, i’m sure bigmak is happy too.

Currently I keep all mine in the Virtual Boy System box. I don’t have the cardboard insert to the systems box so it makes work well enough.

Good saves guys.

The manual states 7 year olds are fine to play the system, but like Ben said whatever study said 5 i’m guessing would be ok.
